I've never fully supported idolizing other people in general. But wow Trevor Noah is like the coolest person ever! Such a great guy! Hope he continues to influence others because he truly makes the world a better place!

I'm a real fan of Trevor Noah & glad he won this award. But I feel some kind of way after seeing his girlfriend. It's like I love how he always wants to credit black women for being strong and having the hardest time in society in interviews and such yet his girlfriend looks anything but black. What is she mixed or just not black? I can't tell because her hair is silky straight and her features and skin tone could pass for any race. I have nothing against interracial dating or interracial beauty. But I really wish good black men ( biracial or not) would really give a shot to try and date a black woman that looks unmistakably black for a change (like kinky curly hair and nubian features at least). For a change.

She's Filipino, born in mexico. She's not black or white, and she is his tone so that could be a subconscious thing that attracted him. What he wants does not affect what he clearly stands for in terms of black people's struggles, and it would be selfish for black people to feel entitled and obligated to claim him fully and that the ideal thing would be for him to date blacks because he himself has a whole white side of his family. No one race can claim him. He can swing and relate and connect across a wide spectrum and he is still is MORE outspoken than a lot of black men is main stream media way darker than him in terms of black issues. Romantically? Meh, let him do him.

How can a girl not be in love with Trevor Noah. I started watching his comedy before he got the job at the daily show, and he made me laugh so much. Although he was talking about life in his country, I could see it and believed it like I always knew him. I'm so proud of him, he's the prove that what Black people lack isn't the ability to do something but the opportunity to do it. And I hope more Africans will make it internationally because we have the most intelligent, talented, and loving people in the world, who are only waiting to get a chance TO BE.

Stop with the country generalizations geez. like we had a say in which geographical plot of land we were born into. people suck..so by all means, diss, shade and roast them. Don't drag geography into it. 'America is shit' Land, trees, mountains and ocean: What did we do?'South Africa is shit' Land, trees, mountains and ocean: Sho skhokho 😂😂

Why so much hate? is its because he is a Black South African? We have a racism issues in SA but after reading all these comments full of racist and anger about a black person winning an award made me realise that USA need a lot support and information about diversity. #blackandproud #fromSA #therainbownation.

Sam Ndlovu the US doesn't need any information regarding diversity,especially from us. They had a black president in a predominantly white country. The reverse would never happen here.Blacks hold some of the highest positions in government and is way more diverse than ours. Trevor Noah as an immigrant to the US degrades the President of the country at every turn and enforces the false narrative that he's racist. He's a smug race baiter and shouldn't be surprised when he's called out for it. The problem with racism seems that it's white on black and blacks can't be racist and if they are it's not their fault. Well if you consider crime statistics you see the same pattern in the US as in SA. Blacks murder,rape,steal ect on a grande scale .Disproportionate to their population size ,so it's easy to see why people (not just whites) have negative attitudes towards them the world over. Maybe view more widely than that Blacklives matter bull and look at pictures of farm murders in SA or look at Collin Flaherty video's on youtube . BTW I would add ,if a white male American immigrant came to SA and berated our president like Noah does, how do you think that would go down ?

Sam Ndlovu It's interesting, I have always gotten the sense that America loves lording it over us for our apartheid past, yet the only difference between SA and USA, is that we openly admit we have a problem and try to deal with it, whereas they are mostly in denial of their massive issues with racism

bill bixby I know right? Wish you can get your biggest hater and dumbass award. He actually deserves the best human of our time award for his charisma, intelligence, and genuine interest in making the world a better place

didn't even thank Jon Stewart, the guy who handed him his entire career...not only is this guy a painfully unfunny, race baiting piece of sh*t, but also an ungrateful cunt...MTV is an absolute DISGRACE.

he's getting an award for being a liberal hack, not for being funny...the same night they honor Maxine Waters who was voted as one of the most corrupt members of Congress and these liberal ZOMBIES cheer her on simply because she launched a bunch of juvenile insults towards the President...these people are disgusting, hypocritical cretins.

Abraham Rivera lol wow your blind hate for "liberals" has you hating on a genuinely good dude! You know it, this guy is funny, charismatic, and has a good heart. One of the few good entertainers that actually raises awareness effectively and has a positive impact in general.

Ethan Deahl have you taken a second to consider maybe donald trump supporters are dumbasses? And trevor is like an awesome human being? He'd probably be your friend had you ever had a chance to hang out with him.

Ivone de Figueiredo with Trevor Iv seen his stand up before he started hosting the show and thought he was genuinely funny but when he started hosting he toned back a lot of his comedy as trying to be more pc and he does have conservatives on the show but seems more hostile as he forgets these are people with differentiating opinions this does go both ways tho and he does do a good show from time to time and I know Jon had a longer time to make his career before he got his name and Trevor has only been hosting for about two years so I shouldn't be to hard on him and give him more time but he still needs to find his voice and as for Obama when he was first elected I was a kid and didn't care that he was black then I found out he was Melado I found it weird that he was are first black president when he was half white and there were racist that wouldn't vote for him just because he looks black but he got almost all of the black community votes as if are you voting for him because he's black as people in this country could careless what a candidates policies are just if there the race religion or sex they want not to forget I know this country has a history of racism and intolerance that a black president would of been big for a lot of people but then I think would about Mitt Romney if he was elected he would've been our first mormon president and Bernie Sanders he would've been our first Jewish president but no one flashed that around as to having a black president what about Melado people in this country wouldn't this be a big milestone as someone of two different racial backgrounds became president would if someone who is actually black becomes president will they be looked back as the first black president were there people that voted for Obama because he looked black yes were there people that voted for Hillary because she was a woman yes not to say they didn't have prejudices against them but why do we make a big deal about this person overcoming diversity rather than this one is it because we choose which groups of people we care about then ignoring others we don't care about

Motivational Michael Trevor does that too. He has put that Tomi woman on the show, and other conservatives, he does very good and sensitive interviews. Well, we are not going to agree.

My mother has always said that "Likes" cannot be argued about, which is of course part of the point I also wanted to make.

You talk in absolutes, your absolutes. Your view of what is comedy is your view, but state your opinion almost as if, because you find his comedy "weak", others should all agree with you, that it must be "weak". As I've said, I like it.

You know that people, just as you and I, are made by their environment, what they have seen, what they have experienced, what they have endured, what they have lived through, etc. That will have an impact on their personality and most probably their stage personality. Plus, Trevor is young, he is growing into his role and he has a following. Jon has several failures before he became successful, and he grew in his role. He didn't come fully formed.

You may connect with someone colored by experiences similar to yours, with similar cynicism so etc.

I, for example, like black and sick humour. Many people are disgusted by that, they seem to have some sort of boundary. However, just because a comedian doesn't do black or sick humour doesn't mean he is a bad comedian, in my book. I can be open to all sorts of acts. I'm more critical of delivery, to be honest.

Me, I'm biased, I've seen Trevor's stand-up and I'm South African, but then again, there are other South African performers that don't do it for me. There are a few British performers that don't do it for me either, same with US performers.

I should not have pursued this thread, it's unfair and wrong. Likes are never something one can dispute or argue. I hope you find your comedian somewhere.

(In response to my previous comment, I'm afraid I didn't quite understand what you were trying to convey in terms of Obama and racism.)

Ivone de Figueiredo first off his Comedy is weak and pc second Obama had problems that people didn't like this he's black people are racist is shit there were people like that but he was elected twice and Jon Stewart was a liberal but would make fun of both sides and talk to people of ever political side republican or democrat instead of the oh trump did this and that there are people on all sides of the problem God forbid he get out of his safe space and try to have a conversation

Motivational Michael No dude, Jon Steward made the show! And he chose Noah to continue with the show, which has proved to have been an inspired choice. Trevor had a slowish start but he is great now, so those that liked the show when Jon was headlining and dislike it now that Trevor is headlining are having a Republican Obama moment in my opinion i.e. 8 years of hating anything Obama, just because he is black, but pretending otherwise.

I do agree with others here though, that he needs to be careful not to lose his South African accent.

CAN MTV GET ANY MORE LIBERAL THAN THIS SHIT? THIS HERE IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF WHY SO MANY PEOPLE VOTED FOR TRUMP...SOME PEOPLE WHO DIDNT LIKE TRUMP VOTED FOR HIM BECAUSE OF ALL THIS LIBERAL DOG SHIT. PEOPLE ARE TIRED OF THESE LIBERALS ALWAYS TRYING TO CONTROL EVERYTHING WE DO..

Márton Lukács He got that job from his hilarious stand up performance. Plus his stand up had a lot of truth in it! Instead of hating, take notes from him because he's one of the few good people in the entertainment industry. He makes the world a better place.

just a bunch of millionaires jerking each other off, wearing thousand dollar outfits and drinking 500 dollar glasses of champagne talking about how down to earth and representative of the struggles of the common man they are..... wheres a jihadist when you need one

I know for a fact that one day should I be as successful as he is in my own field, he would hesitate hailing his pride for me and my achievements. because in South Africa we are taught that every man is my brother, every lady my sister and every child my own. Some valuable lessons ignorance will deprive you of.
